Second, while the average internet forum poster is not always a great predictor of the pilot group historically, the huge lack of concern with reserve contract issues (they picked to be in reserve!) surprised me and combined with the moronic last contract inclusion of FSB (they will never use it!) leaves me very skeptical that reserve issues will be dealt with in the next contract whether we approve this TA or not. So since i do not commute, fly a NB, was not a furloughee, never expected a 100 seat CA to get paid more than WB fo at this airline, and am confident about Delta leapfrogging our pay, it comes down to respectable real cash right now vs confidence in a new MEC and hopefully new NC's ability to fix the numerous details of this contract that really need attention.

Undecided, but i feel so good.
Have you considered the affects of the CS100 rates being so much lower than the A319 and 737-500? They will become replacement aircraft and next thing you know, you will have a B-scale airline within an airline.
